Jeremiah,
I would try bypassing the switch first, just to verify that everything else was
working.? Maybe the problem isnt the switch.? Why buy parts you dont need.? I
know I have never done that.

Subject: [TR] TR3 brake light switch test
Howdy all,
I was trying to figure out why my brake lights don't work today and I
noticed that one of the wires that goes to the switch wasn't attached.
Hoping it was simple I re-attached the wire, but the light still doesn't
work. Since the car has been in storage since 1969 I don't know when they
last worked.
I tried measuring the resistance across the terminals and found none without
the brakes on. I would expect resistance when the brakes are off and none
when the pedal is depressed. Is that correct? If so, I guess I need a new
switch.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
